Putin signs law to punish Russians who commit acts of sabotage in protest of the war with life sentences

Moscow — Russian President signed legislation into law on Thursday that punishes acts of sabotage with up to life in prison.

Not only can an individual receive the punishment for carrying out an act of sabotage – which, for instance, could be a coup plot or other “subversive acts” – but also for financing, recruiting and planning the crime.

The crackdown takes place against the backdrop of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

After the outbreak of war, there were a series of attacks against district military recruitment offices and infrastructure in Russia.

Then, following Putin’s mass mobilization order, the wave of attacks intensified. In total, more than 75 public buildings were targeted up to November.

Civil rights activists say that the vague wording and different interpretations of the law give the authorities broad scope to persecute those opposed to the Kremlin’s policies.

I think the recent talk of "peace negotiations" is nothing but a smokescreen to camouflage Putin's next moves. Unless peace is defined as capitulation to Putin and Russia, he has no interest in peace.

Now this means under Russian law he can prosecute (and persecute) anyone who disagrees with him.

I think he wants to point back to Dec 22 as the time he proffered the hand of peace and the "evil NATO west" slapped him down. It's all a set up. This legislation is the real Putin at work.
